Entitled, "The Emergence of Drones and Related Insurance Issues," the session will focus on an introduction to the types of drones, potential usage and related insurance concerns.  Some of the highlights will include:
·       Regulatory environment
·       Current and future uses of drones
·       Insurance trends--inland marine or aviation

·      Coverage concerns: ACV vs. RC, perils, time element

In making the announcement, Kevin O’Brien, IMUA President & CEO, said, “There is probably no other topic more prevalent in the news today than drones. The use of drones is proliferating.  And with the fact that there are no stringent FAA guidelines presently in place, there are myriad of issues for our industry that need to be dealt with, including regulations, privacy issues, risk management and insurance.  We will touch on these issues in December 3^rd webinar, which I urge all IMUA members and brokers to attend.”
